The Obama administration, over the last 6 days, has backtracked multiple times on our strategy/plans/endgame for Libya. Various spokespersons are even proffering different scenarios at the same time. “He must go!” is the mantra de jour. But go where? Will he hunker down and hold out. Will he die in a bombing raid; or be assassinated? Or, perchance could he be captured? By whom? Maybe | Read More »
Background: In April 1986, Pres. Reagan ordered an attack on Muammar Qadafi’s compound in response to his involvement in the Berlin nightclub bombing earlier that month. The operation was code-named “El Dorado Canyon.” One US aircraft, an F-111F, was lost, along with the aircrew: the pilot, USAF Capt. Fernando L. Ribas-Dominici, and the weapons system operator, USAF Capt. Paul Lorence. It is ironic, given | Read More »
Anyone remember Raymond Davis? Aside from his family, loved ones, friends, and co-workers? Yes, events these last few weeks ( Wisconsin, Japan) have totally dominated the news. He continues to be confined in a hell-hole of a Pakistani prison, no doubt subjected to the vilest conditions and treatment.

It hasn’t happened as yet, but in the near future it will soon be obvious that the debate over defunding NPR is symbolic of everything that conservatives are attempting to do to restore fiscal sanity to our government.

House Republicans got off to a decent start with the just passed CR. They forced $4 billion in REAL spending cuts. And as Obama and the Senate Dems continue to dither and bluster, the House GOP is contemplating the same strategy..another CR, for another few weeks, with another few billion in cuts. In theory, they could achieve their goal of $60-100 billion in cuts that | Read More »
The struggle to deal with bloated public pensions continues. Less reported, but equally as important, is that already several states and many local governments have already instituted reforms: putting new hires into defined contribution/401k type plans.

First of all, I’m a huge admirer of Sarah Palin. I’m still undecided as to whom I’ll support for the nomination, but she’s in my top 3. And her courage in standing up to the slander and vituperation of the left and the MSM, as well as speaking the truth about the important issues of our day has been key to revitalizing the conservative movement | Read More »
The 14 Wisconsin Democrat senators continue to play hide-and-seek. Here’s a way for Gov. Walker and the GOP to change the dynamic, and increase their advantage. The Dems fled in order to prevent a quorum in the Senate, and thus are preventing a vote on the Governor’s financial legislation. The Senate Majority leader has several times sent WI State Troopers to their homes, to bring them to the | Read More »
I assume someone, anyone, at the RNC watches the Sunday talking head shows. David Gregory continued his ambush tactics today, interviewing Scott Walker. Totally ignoring Walker’s reasoned responses, he often misstated facts. And then he spent several minutes asking Walker about the fake phone call from a liberal blogger (one who has since been outed as having rejoiced in the death and dismemberment of American | Read More »
The Wisconsin teachers union is going all out, or maybe all in is the better term, to try and stop needed reforms. Are they totally oblivious to what’s going on in the country, what happened last November? I can’t believe they are that dense, but in fact, there is a really good reason for their response. .The union’s survival is threatened. Here’s the numbers. According to | Read More »
